The bittersweet story is a superb balance of human drama and Allen’s brand of neurotic comedy... with a warmth not always seen in a lot his films.

A wondrous work so beloved in its day that the jurists for the Pulitzer Prize pushed for its script even though it was written for a film instead of a play (unfortunately, the Pulitzer committee said no way).

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 5, 2024

...an erratically-paced yet mostly satisfying endeavor...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 7, 2023

The finest film I've seen from the year I was born remains quite a thing indeed.

Is Hannah and Her Sisters, the 14th movie written and directed by Allen, worth the wait? No.

| Oct 22, 2018

Allen is one of the rare clowns with the gift of discovering the universal upon his own doorstep.

| Dec 31, 2017

Brilliant but mature comic-drama about an imperfect family.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 28, 2015

The marvel of Hannah and Her Sisters is just how many fully realized characters and relationships Allen is able to weave into the fabric of this extraordinarily well-written film. This script is one to be studied by aspiring filmmakers.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 10, 2014

Perfection is boring, but boring is the very last word to describe Hannah and Her Sisters, which just may be a perfect movie.

| Feb 10, 2014

Hannah and Her Sisters is structured ingeniously so that seemingly separate stories eventually merge in satisfying ways.

| Feb 10, 2014

This gifted ensemble works hard to make Hannah and Her Sisters the best movie of the year so far, perhaps the best that Allen has ever made.

| Feb 10, 2014

Allen`s ear for the strained marital conversation, the fury of a breakup and the tentativeness of starting a romance is impeccable.

| Feb 10, 2014

Hannah and Her Sisters is also filmmaking of consummate skill and emotional range. It encompasses brilliant comedy and almost unbearable poignance -- often in the same scene.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 10, 2014

The film weaves a rich Chekhovian mix, full of wry insights into the fragility of human emotions.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 10, 2014

The usual fever of adjectives -- terrific, titanic, transcendent -- sounds puny.

| Feb 10, 2014

[A] warm, multi-stranded, near-nepotistic family saga that contains the usual awkward dates, clandestine meetings and failed marriages.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 10, 2014

Allen weaves together the complex narrative strands with ease, punctuating the many variations on betrayal and love with three festive Thanksgiving dinners.

| Feb 10, 2014

...makes me wish Allen would get men out of the picture more often.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 30, 2013

at the very least a conversation starter

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 9, 2013

Caine's performance, so fervent, so agonisingly dedicated, actually gains in force and touching sincerity with the years.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 22, 2011
